What is Underactive Thyroid?
Having an underactive thyroid can cause a variety of health problems. The thyroid, a small butterfly-shaped gland, which located in the front lower part of the neck, is responsible for providing important hormones that regulate many of the body’s systems.
When there are not enough of these hormones in the bloodstream, you may experience any number of symptoms that can greatly reduce your quality of life. These symptoms, however, can be treated with thyroid replacement therapy.
Common Symptoms of an Underactive Thyroid
Addressing the underlining problem will help to eliminate the unpleasant symptoms and get you back to the quality of life you deserve. Common symptoms that point to an underactive thyroid, which are often mistaken as caused by other ailments, include:
- Changes in the menstrual cycle not related to menopause
- Constipation
- Depression
- Dry skin and hair loss
- Dry skin
- Fatigue
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
- Weight gain and/or difficulties losing weight
- Swelling of the thyroid – also called a goiter
- Slowed heart rate
- Increased sensitivity to the cold
What Causes an Underactive Thyroid?
There are many things, both inside the body and externally, that can cause the thyroid to produce a low number of certain hormones, also known as hypothyroidism.
Often times, the root cause is from a viral infection or an autoimmune disorder known as Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis, which causes the body to mistakenly attack and damage the thyroid.
- Certain medications, including radiation therapy for some cancers
- A diet low in iodine
- Pregnancy
- Pituitary glade damage or disorder
- Disorders of the hypothalamus
- Problems with the thyroid present at birth

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Leander Clinic
Q: What makes RCMC different from other weight loss programs?
A: RCMC is a complete health and wellness medical weight loss program — not a quick prescription or a generic meal plan. Your program is built around you and can include medical care, nutrition coaching, fitness support, and our app, with a team that knows you personally and celebrates your wins with you.
Q: What does "unreasonable hospitality" mean?
A: It's our core value: we go above and beyond for every patient. We know you by name, we call you back, we check in on you, and we genuinely care about your success — because to us, you're a person, not a number.
Q: How does the 100% money-back guarantee work?
A: Simple: follow your personalized plan, and if you don't get results, you get your money back. We're that confident in our program — and in you.
Q: Do I need a referral to start?
A: No referral needed. Just book a free consultation and we'll take it from there.
Q: How much does the program cost?
A: Every program is customized, but most patients invest around $400 per month (typically $200–$500 depending on your needs). We offer CareCredit, Klarna, and in-house financing so cost doesn't stand between you and your goals.
Q: How does the trial work?
A: Your consultation is free. If you decide to start after your consultation, you pay just $1 for your trial. On day 15, if you haven't canceled, you simply continue into your full program with a one-time payment or a payment plan.
Q: Will I be prescribed weight loss medication?
A: Only if it's medically appropriate for you. Medication is never guaranteed and never the whole program — it's one possible tool inside a complete plan that teaches you how to reach your goal and keep it off.
Q: Do you offer virtual consultations?
A: Yes! We offer free virtual consultations nationwide, so you can start from anywhere.
Q: How will I keep the weight off after I hit my goal?
A: That's the whole point. We don't just help you lose weight — we teach you how to reach your goal and maintain your results for life, with continued coaching and support.
